"The relevance of our integrated Quality of Life services offer, our
leadership in emerging markets and the breadth of our global network
have continued to drive Sodexo’s growth during the first quarter. With
these strengths, we are confident in our ability to seize growth
opportunities in our markets, even if in the short term Sodexo’s organic
growth is likely to be modest given the current economic environment,
particularly in Europe.”

On-site Services

Organic growth in On-site Services was + 1.9%, or + 3.2% excluding the
impact of the Rugby World Cup contract, since this first quarter
compares with a first quarter of Fiscal 2012 that included 52 million
euro of revenues from this hospitality contract.

Organic growth in Corporate of + 4.2% during the first quarter of
Fiscal 2013, or + 6.7% excluding the impact of the Rugby World Cup,
resulted from two main positive elements:

- Increased demand for integrated services contracts from companies in
North America and Europe,

- Sodexo’s solid rate of development in the Rest of the World
(especially in Latin America and in Remote Sites) despite some signs of
slower economic activity in several countries since last summer.

The 1% decline in revenues in Health Care and Seniors is
essentially due to a soft client retention rate in Fiscal 2012. However,
since the beginning of this fiscal year, Sodexo teams have been awarded
some significant new contracts, particularly in the U.S., which should
contribute to the acceleration of growth in this segment over the next
18 months.

Organic revenue growth was + 6.7%, a level close to that of Fiscal 2012,
again a result of Sodexo’s strong position in Latin America.

+ 0.6%

Organic growth of + 5.6% in Corporate remained solid. This
performance results mainly from success in extending facilities
management services for clients that include General Electric, the
contribution of new contracts, including the prestigious Circuit of
the Americas, home of Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix, as well as continued
favorable Remote Sites development in Canada.

In Health Care and Seniors, revenues registered an organic
decline of - 2.8%. Virtually all of this decline for the quarter
reflects the loss a year ago of the Ascension Health contract.

In contrast, new business awarded to Sodexo since the beginning of
Fiscal 2013 clearly confirms the relevance of Sodexo’s offer and
prospects for growth over the medium term. New wins include the signing
of a major contract with one of the largest U.S. retirement home chains,
HCR ManorCare (290 retirement homes in 32 states and nearly 40,000
residents for annual revenues of USD 220 million once the contract is
fully operational). Other recently signed contracts include Health
Corporation of America (HCA) East Florida (9 hospitals), LA County (2
sites at UCLA Medical Center in California) and Ochsner Medical Center
(Louisiana).

In Education, organic growth was + 0.9%. This reflects reduced
spending by students in schools and universities and lower activity at
university stadiums, as well as the temporary closure of more than 250
East Coast schools in the wake of Hurricane Sandy last November.

Organic growth in Corporate was + 3.3%, a slightly higher rate
than that achieved in Fiscal 2012. This performance is largely
explained by the roll out of contracts with a significant facilities
management component, such as for Deutsche Telekom in Germany, Rusal
and Gazprom in Russia and Eli Lilly in several countries. In France,
the level of activity reflected the opening of a site in Nantes as
well as additional services for the Ministry of Justice. In contrast,
foodservices activity was generally weak as a result of lower
patronage, a decrease in the average check size and a reduction in
catering services. Recent successes included DNB (Norway), the renewal
of the KLM contract in the Netherlands and a new contract extension
with Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile) in Germany.

In Health Care and Seniors, organic revenue growth was + 0.1%.
Satisfactory comparable unit growth, especially in France, was offset
by the effects of weak prior year business development as well as a
more selective client approach in Southern Europe. Sodexo recently won
new contracts such as Nouvelles Cliniques Nantaises (France) and
Fruängsgården, Stockholm (Sweden).

In Education, organic growth in revenues is + 0.6%. In Spain
and Italy particularly, comparable unit growth was modest as a result
of pressures on school budgets that reduced service levels as well as
selectivity in new business development. Sodexo teams recently won
contracts that include the City of Fonte Nuova (Italy), Darussafaka
Okul, Istanbul (Turkey), and Ensemble Scolaire des Recollets (Longwy)
in France.

Organic growth in Corporate remains high at + 9.8%, driven by
Sodexo’s strong performance in the mining sector in Australia and
Latin America, despite reductions in scope of certain mining contracts
that progressed from the construction to the operations phase in
Asia-Pacific. Signs of deceleration of industrial activity were
particularly evident in Brazil, India and more recently in China.
However, new business development remained solid, with Sodexo winning
numerous contracts, including AstraZeneca (China), Australian
Submarine Corporation (Australia), Electrolux (Brazil), Pacific
Rubiales Energy (Colombia) and Total E&P (Congo).

In addition, Sodexo will provide postal support (collection,
transportation and delivery of letters and parcels) in partnership
with the French Postal services for 19,000 people deployed on French
military bases abroad. This innovative project leverages Sodexo’s
on-site services expertise in extreme environments.

Health Careand Seniors continues to grow in Asia and
Latin America with several new contract awards, including Renmin
University Hospital Wuhan (China). The decline in Education
(representing only 3% of Rest of the World revenues) results from the
non-renewal of a large public contract in Chile.

In Corporate, 1st Quarter Fiscal 2013 revenues
increased + 11.1% (excluding rugby)1, with approximately
half contributed from services during the Paralympic Games in London
in early September 2012 (around 13 million euro in revenues). The
balance of this solid progress results from the ramp up of several
integrated services contracts such as Unilever, Astra Zeneca and Eli
Lilly.

In Health Care and Seniors, organic growth of + 5.3% primarily
reflects the provision of new services at a large university hospital
(North Staffordshire University Hospital). There also has been a
recent recovery in business development, for example with the signing
of a contract with Brighton and Sussex University Hospital.

In Education, revenues registered an organic decline of - 2.9%,
reflecting continued selectivity in approaching public sector
contracts. Recent successes include St. Andrews College, Dublin
(Ireland).

Organic revenue growth for the activity was driven by a dynamic
performance in Latin America. Face value*increases
(especially in Brazil and Venezuela) and the rise in the number of
beneficiaries continue to be important growth factors in Latin
America. However, pressure on commissions in Brazil resulted in a gap
between growth in issue volume and revenues in the first quarter.

In Europe, growth was more modest, given the impact of the regulatory
change in Hungary (effective as of January 1, 2012), a more
challenging economic environment and lower demand in Italy. In
contrast, activity in Belgium and France remained solid.

Also of note was the success of the new Spirit of Cadeau gift
card in France (home and sports-themed products and services) during the
end of year holiday season.

Acquisitions

On November 2, 2012, Sodexo expanded its presence in Latin America with
the acquisition of Servi-Bonos, a leading player in the food and
meal vouchers and cards market in Mexico. With a portfolio of 5,000
clients across the country, Servi-Bonos recorded issue volume of around
300 million euro in 2011.

On December 24, 2012, Sodexo reinforced its presence in India with the
acquisition of MacLellan India, an Indian leader in facilities
management services with specific expertise in HVAC services,
maintenance and energy management. The acquisition of MacLellan India
contributes to Sodexo’s technical services expertise.

These acquisitions did not have a material impact on Sodexo’s financial
strength compared to its position as of August 31, 2012.

In October, Sodexo received the "Business for Peace" award in
Colombia. This initiative, in partnership with the Colombian
Suramericana Foundation, the Reintegration Agency and the Peace and
Reconciliation Program of the city of Medellin, promotes the
reintegration to the work force of people in vulnerable situations
because of the Colombian conflict, including victims and ex-combatants
from illegally armed groups.

Principal risks and uncertainties

There have been no significant changes in the principal risks and
uncertainties identified by the Group in the "Risk Factors" section of
the Fiscal 2012 Registration Document filed November 12, 2012 with the
Autorité des marchés financiers.

Outlook

As announced last November by Michel Landel, Sodexo foresees modest
growth in revenues and operating profit1 for
Fiscal 2013 compared to the previous year, which benefited from
specific events (the Rugby World Cup, the Olympics and a 53rd
week in North America).

The positive impact of currency effects was + 4.2% for the first
three months of the year, mainly from the strengthening of the U.S.
dollar and the British pound sterling against the euro. In the Rest
of the World, the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the
euro was partially offset by the appreciation against the euro of other
currencies in Latin America and Asia-Pacific.

It should be noted that, contrary to exporting companies, revenues and
operating expenses of Sodexo subsidiaries are denominated in the same
currency; as a result, currency fluctuations do not involve operational
risks.
